SOA enabling a Scout Application [message #1094163]

The API exposed by Scout at http://host:port/context/process?actionId=tab.ServicesView#focus suggests that the backend service API is tightly coupled to supporting the Swing/SWT/RAP client.

It seems that scout provides GUI client services, but not traditional business services that would usually be exposed for SOA type clients.

I have seen the wiki link http://wiki.eclipse.org/Scout/Overview#SOA, so I guess others have used a Scout Application as a SOA service.

1) What are the main considerations when exposing a Scout Application as a SOA service?
2) Does one normally connect a SOA client to the GUI service API, or does one create a business facade to convert the Scout API to something a bit more "business like"?
3) Is documentation generated for the Scout client API that I can provide to third parties (e.g. WSDL/WADL/etc)?

I am not sure to understand your entire question, but you should read this:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Scout/Concepts/Communication

I can also tell that the Communication between the Client and the Service can be changed for something else:
- Some customers do not allow to have serialized information in the messages between client and server.
- I have seen a prototype of a Scout Application where the client server communication was realized over "TIBCO Rendezvous"

So it can be up to you to implement the communication you like.
